re: Are younger voters ripe to be converted to Libertarianism?

I believe that a few would rally to the cause because they understand it but it would be a very small number. How old were the Founding Fathers when they wrote the Declaration of Independence? Some were younger but the vast majority were over 33. People are also most creative in the mid 30s and I think that is because we have lived enough to understand life, to a degree, and have developed the ability to think outside of the box.

I think he was talking about JoJo and his blaming the youth for everything.

No but there is a legitimate point to saying that peoples politics change. I mean from a purely nonacademic approach. You first vote when you are 18, maybe if you are unlucky, you vote on president when you are 21. so there is a chance you will only see one president in charge prior to turning 29. one reason i think they are going pro libertarian as they have seen what many of them are considering a shitty rep in bush and a shitty dem in obama.

that is not even taking into account how much you learn about the world from 18-30
